greatest concert i have seen. it started with me and my buddies at Hard Rock cafe eating. the arena - the Target Center was right across form the cafe. we ate and i flirted with our waitress....who was hott! hahaha
anyway, we then play games and shit at Game works til 6:30 when we got in the arena. We all bought t-shirts. all different ones , got some pop and sat down and settled in. our friends were a couple sections over adn came over to talk to us. we sat directly in front of the stage in the center stands, 5 rows up for floor level. $170 tickets.
Bob Marley's son opened up and then Van Halen. a curtain blocked them from the audience. the opening chord of "You Really Got Me" was strummed and the curtain fell! The band came out and it was crazy! Alex's huge kit with 4 bass drums on a pedestal with walls of amps on both sides and a ramp which David Lee Roth descended waving a red flag.
there was a lady who bitched the whole time before the show but she passed out because she was so drunk. we laughed. they rolled in to "Runnin' With The Devil" as song 3 and Wolfgang was at the top of the ramp and raised his bass over his head like Jimmy Page playing the part before with solo on "Stairway to Heaven." the vibe was incredible. "Cheech and Chong" sat in front of us and the whole row was baked. we ended up getting baked unintentionally because the smoke kept rising into our faces because we were right behind them.
Alex had an amazing 10-15 drum solo. Wolfgang was amazing and Eddie kicked ass. moving an grooving to the tunes and sweet sounds coming for Frankancaster and friends. He and David mad motorcycle noises. David with the mike and Eddie with his guitar. Eddie ran over to Wolfgang and did a back-to-back thing and planted a couple kisses on his face. and Wolfgang smiled and continued playing. Eddie was so animated. "I'll Wait" was amazing. better live than studio. "Unchained," "Aint Talkin' Bout Love" also kicked ass! the whole concert kicked ass.
David Lee Roth strummed his acoustic reflecting on memories before "Ice Cream Man." "Panama" is mine and my friend's song. it was awesome! we sang to every song.
there was a lady and a man making out 3 row below us. they are at least 40. she then ducked he head for 5 minutes and you knew she was giving the guy a blowjob. quite hilarious i must say.
they closed with "Jump" and David grabbed a giant blowup mike that and strattled it and rode it like a horse. ahahahahah
it was one of the greatest times of my life!
